nSince the mildly injured guard received first aid from a few other guards and was blocked, the reporters knew they couldn't interview them.

nSo they decided on the crowd instead.

n

"Sir! Can you describe what you just saw?

"

n

"Girl, you've asked the right person.

nYou know, from the angle at which I sat in the dinner over there, I could already tell that those 3 were up to no good.

nWho wears a school bag when wearing those shoes?

nIsn't that an insult to fashion?

nWhat the hell were those bastards thinking when pairing them together?

nIn my opinion, whether an item is cheap or expensive doesn't matter very much.

nWhat matters the most is that they complement each integer when paired.

nSo as a fashion major, looking at it makes my eyes bleed!

nWho does that?

"

n

".... Sir, can you get back to the story?

"

n

"Well, as I was saying, from the moment I saw them, I knew they were up to no good.

"

n...

nThe news reporters continued interviewing as many as they could while trying their best to talk to the guards as well.

nBut who were they?

nAs royal security staff, there were some rules that they had to follow for the better of everyone.

nFor example, they weren't allowed to give or accept interviews on the royals without permission.

nDoing so might one day make them accidentally leak some hidden clues that could compromise the safety of their employer and some of their comrades while at work.

nThere were always spies and assassins lurking in the dark.

nSo they had to be careful at all times.

nAt the same time, word had already gone out to the police station, getting several air force units on top of the matter.

nOf course, the police cars were on the lookout for mother Winnie's official vehicles as well.

nJosh, Mark and Lucius had already gotten word too.

nAs for Landon, even though he was still in the hospital because he had always placed trackers on all his loved ones, the moment the knife was approaching her neck and overflowing with murderous intent... The system had already alerted him.

nWho?

nWho would dare?

nWhile in the hospital with Lucy, Landon secretly watched everything from there on out.

nLooking at everything, he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

nLucy looked at him in confusion?

n

"What's making you smile all of a sudden?

"

n

"Well, I just think that there are too many fools in this world.

"

n

"Hey! What do you mean?

"

nLandon flicked her forehead playfully:

"Of course I'm not talking about you. How could I when my baby is so cute?

"

nHe hugged Lucy and gently stroked her hair while silently watching Mother Winnie's side through the system's monitors.

nHow would she deal with them?

nThis, he had to see.

n.

nWinnie, who had a knife close to her neck, adjusted her glasses calmly and continued marking her papers, which left the assassins in even more confusion.

nWhat was this operation?

nSister, didn't you see that we have a knife against your neck?

nCan't you at least pretend to be frightened?

nBlack, Silver and Wind felt everything funny and amusing.

nThey were one of the most feared assassins in Yodan, who had successfully made several men peed themselves.

nYet, this woman didn't even flinch or pretend to be scared when meeting them for the first time.

nWas this some sort of joke?

nEven when they met The now Duchess Ivy of Yodan, she indeed showed some initial reactions of fright before calming down.

nBut in Winnie's case, it was as if she was looking down on them and indirectly saying that they weren't worth her time?

n.

nThey looked at her in annoyance.

n

"What the hell are you doing?

nDrop those papers now if you don't want your throat slit!

"

n

n

nWinnie raised, and silently raised her face and squinted her eyes at Black and the rest.

nIn particular, she was more focused on black, as she coldly stared at him with every fibre of his being.

nThe moment she heard how the other assassins called him, she knew who he was, even without him taking off his mask.

n

"I know you.

nOr rather, I should say that I know your brother.

"

nBlack was taken aback.

nDid she figure it out?

nNo! Impossible!

nDoes she remember that time?

nBlack felt like he was probably overthinking things a bit.

n

"Lady, what nonsense are you sitting out?

nHeh. If this is your way of trying to wiggle your way out of this, then you can forge it!

" Black scoffed.

nWinnie nonchalantly ignored his arrogant eyes and leaned back:

"Believe it or not. I know him.

"

nHow could she not?

nThe bastard's brother was the cause of her initial exile from Yodan.

n.

nAt the time, Ivy had hired Black's elder brother to sneak into her courtyard and 'accidentally get caught.

nOf course, as a skilled assassin, he later snuck out, leaving her to take all the blame, saying that she had a wild man over, leading to her divorce.

nAt the time, even though she never facially showed it, she was so shocked and confused by the fact that a n.a.k.e.d man was seen leaving her courtyard.

nShe had never laid on any bed with this man other than Maclaine, so where did the n.a.k.e.d man come from?

nHe stormed out of her bedroom chambers and was apparently seen by only 3 people at the time.

nYet somehow, that number multiplied to hundreds who swore to have seen him with their very own eyes.

nHe probably didn't want to flee when many people watched because he still wanted an escape route for himself.

nBut even at that, the effect of having just 3 people seeing him still did the job.

nAt that time, she looked at Maclaine and said just 3 words to him: I am innocent.

"

nThat was it.

nShe never did anything more to defend herself because her enemies had hired to hundred other witnesses and did many things behind the scenes

nSo her defending herself was meaningless.

nAfter coming here and accidentally seeing Sirius, she got the name of the man who dared to run n.a.k.e.d in her courtyard.

nThat was how she came to know of Black's brother.

nGood.

nShe can finally air out some of her grievances.
